It's Who You KnowI don't know what I'm doing wrong. I live in Illinois and in Cook county, yet I don't have a state job despite being extremely unqualified.

Hiring in Illinois government is a joke. The Cook county commish hired a busboy and was quickly promoted twice to a $61,000 job, despite having a criminal background.

"Nobody knew" his background.

He was also bailed of jail twice by the commish's cousin, who was also a county employee, the chief financial officer. She just got fired too. I don't want to go to that next family party.

Remember Blagojevich? He hired the guy who sold him suits to a $91,000 state job.

I do have a cousin that works for the county. Maybe if I sold her a suit and cleared her table, maybe I could get one of those sweet state or county jobs.

Shoot, I forgot.

We both have morals that we live by.

I guess I'll never get a state or county job.

Should anyone be surprised. Afterall this is one of the most (if not thee most) corrupt states in the union.

This is also the same cesspool that our current President comes out of.

Like they say, love is blind (or in this case stupid).

I never said buzzing NYC was a smart thing to do. Hell, for half of the $300k I could have Photoshopped Air Force 1 parked on top of Mt. Rushmore with Obama standing on top holding a sign saying "I AM THE PREZ!"

I hope Obama was worrying about more important things than publicity photos.

I love you too Koz!

All that Obama and his sychophants worry about is his image. They are banking on people just like you to keep the blinders on.

So far (sadly) it is working. Sort of like those leaders in Crestwood.

I have no blinders on. I, unlike anony, do look at both sides of each coin.

The anti-Obama sect tries to exaggerate each Obama mistake.

The Air Force 1 issue was stupid and dumb. What should Obama do that hasn't already been done?

If the Swine Flu story had not come up the media would still be all over the story.

The Swine Flu is a scary story to tell, so that is where the media is going to go.

What to you want the media to do, Ignore dying people for stupid people's mistakes?
